Hints ON Ratin5nU,

From the New Or cans Picayune
We ''take cold' through the skin it should
be remembered, also breathe through
it, throwing off superfuous heat-which
becomes fever when the perspiration is sup
pressed-and also sending off waste pro-
ducts. Persons who have any tendency to
pulmonary disease should make their skins
active A double handful of common salt
thrown into the bathing water after the
cleaning process has been performed is a
beneficial addition. The saline particles are
very penetrating, and no amount of rubbing
will remove them from the skin, upon which
they exert a most useful, though a gentle
stimulating influence, especially salutary in
cases of sluggish liver. Not only does this
act locally-on the skin, increasing its secre-
tions, but also quickens TIE process of nu-
triton in all the tissues of the body.
Thumbless mittens of ordinary Turkish
toweling are as good as the more costly
sponges for the luxury of the daily Grub
bath" A large Turkish towel wrung out III
either tepid or cold water will expedite the
bathing process; and by all means provide a
good sized towel for the dry rub afterward
Turkish towels that come the size of crib
sheets are most useful for this, and the Iuxu
ry of keeping two linen bath sheets in daily
use is known to the initiated few. After
either cold or warm plunge bath the i'm
mediate covering of the whole body in
large wrap of linen or the soft tufted cotton
gives the sensation of luxury that aoms peo-
pie never know

Curious Things Recommended for
Purposes of Luek-A Strange Case.
From the Saturday Review
From such persons you may hear that if
anyone takes the eggs out of a ravens nest,
boils them so as to render them incapable of
incubation and replaces them, the parent
birds will fly to brook and fetch thence a
white stone of the size and shape of the eggs.
The stone they say it places carefully among
the eggs and then sits on eggs and stone to-
gether. The stone restores vitality to the
eggs and after the brood is fedged and has
flown it is left behind in the nest. 1t has,
however, suffered a great change. 1t is now
semi-transparent, aud in every respect ex-
cept its weight and hardness is exactly like
an egg. If it be placed near any poisoned
food the yolk begins to move violently and
thus warns the fortunate possessor of his
danger.
The lapwing is even more given to sorcery.
It always deposits stone the size of pea in
its nest. What use it is to the bird or its
family no one seems to know, but IL anyone
finds it and places it under the pillow of a
sleeping person he will answer every ques-
ton that does not exceed the limits OF hu-
man knowledge with perfect truth in the
language in which it is asked. The marvel
GUS stories told of serpents are lnnumerable.
There is one about yard in length and as
thick the upper part Of strong mans
| arm, which haunts dry wooded places. 1t is
so venomous, especially in May, that not
only will tie first person it bites in that
month die himself, but anyone who stands
beside or comes to help him will share the
same fate. If he falls beneath tree that
too, OF if 1t be very large, at least one half
of it will be killed
Again serpents of all kinds are very fond
of milk. In the old days, before the rail-
way was built, a coachman who used to
| drive on the road between Foggia and Ma
| pies once fell asleep outside little inn
| while his horses were batting. His mouth
was open and snake crept down his
throat. After this he felt unwell, though
he did not know why, and none Of the
doctors could tell what was the matter
with him. Atlast he consulted the professors
of the University of Naples. They hung him
up by his feet and placed great bowl of milk
beneath his head. The snake, attracted by the
smell, crept out to drink, but still kept great
part of its. body in the mouth and throat of the
coaehman. A young doctor sprang forward
pulled it out and threw it away, when it was
killed. 1t was about two and balf feet il,
| length. After this the patient was as we'll as
| ever.

THE LATEST PENSION BILL.


The sweeping pension bill which passed
both houses of congress last week and is now
before the President for signature is exciting
a great deal of discussion, yet none too much.
1t provides that all persons who served three
months more in the military or naval SER
vice of the United States in any war in which
the United States has been engaged, and who
have been honorably discharged therefrom,
and who are now or may hereafter be suffer
ing from mental or physical stability, not
the result of their own vicious habits or gross
carelessness, which incapacitates them for
the performance of labor in such degree as
and who are dependent upon
their own labor for support,
SHALL upon making due proof of the fact ac-
cording to such rules and regulations the
secretary of the interior may provide, be
placed upon the list of invalid pensioners of
the United States and be entitled to receive,
for such total inability to procure their Sub
sistence, $12 month"; and such pension
shall commence from the date of the fling
of the application in the pension Office, upon
proof that the disability then existed, and
coulIEue uuIluS Cne existence OF Iue sdine
This is very generous measure. This
country had already done better by its dis
abled defenders than any other country.
Every worthy soldier who was entitled to re-
lief was provided for by previous acts. It is
hardly too much to say of this measure, as
the Springfield Republican does, that osten-
sibly it is patriotic measure, but practically
it is long step toward the grand commun-
istic principle that the State owes every man
living and is bound to provide it for him.
The Republican indicates how it will work,
as follows: The new bill extends the help of
the State to those who incurred no disability
whatever in the service, but who from the
natural advance of life, or from accident, or
from common causes such as catching cold
or malaria, or from sheer laziness, are be-
hindhand with life. The provision against
vicious habits OF carelessness will practically
amount to nothing, for how is it to be proved
that any individual is disabled from work by
reason of drinking or reckless exposure alone?
How is it to be proved that man can ''earn
a support if he declares that he cannot!
Plainly the burden is on the government.
Where the pension business is to end no
one can tell. Perhaps the sons and even the
grandsons of veterans will be pensioned if
they can make the right impression On the
politicians who are after votes.

The Sherman Fighting Blood.


When General Sherman was pressing the
rebels hard at Meridian, Miss, in 1864. his
two daughters were attending school at St.
Mary's academy near Notre Dame, Ind.
There We're also in that institution number
of southern girls, whose rebel proclivities
they were always ready to make known upon
the slightest provocation, and the result was
that there was a constant feud between them
and the northern girls. Among the latter
no one was more pronounced in hatred of
the rebel cause than Miss Minnie Sherman,
now the wife Of Lieutenant Thackera of the
United States navy. She was the champion
and heroine of such in that school. Mrs.
John Cannon of Andrews. Ind, who was a
classmate of Miss Sherman's. recalls some
interesting "reminiscences of the latter dur
ing the last days of the war.
On Washington's birthday, 1864, abou:
the time when General Sherman was de-
stroying the railroads in Mississippi, band
of musicians from South Bend came out in
the afternoon to the academy to serenade the
pupils The visit was anticipated by the
southern girls and they prepared for it.
When the stirring strains of the ''Star 3 pan
gled Banner and Hail Columbia" had died
away number of the rebel girls appeared at
one of the windows, each with a small rebel
flag pinned upon her breast. The band grew
indignant and drove rapidly away, and when
the townspeople heard of the thing they
were greatly incensed and many threats of
mob violence were uttered. Inside the in
stitution the situation was not so bad. When
the superior, Mother Angela, heard of the
action she rushed to the girls and tore the
flags from their breasts and sent them to
their rooms. On the evening of the same
day ball, attended only by the pupils of
the institution in honor of the day, was Civ
en-, and appropriately decorated Union
flag hung like curtain over a doorway at
one end of the ballroom, and was looked
upon with pride by the Union girls. How
ever, when one of the southern girls passed
it she tore it like a tigress from the wall and
tramp1ed it under her feet. Minnie Sher-
man was but few feet away. Her face
flushed and her eyes flashed their indigna-
ton, and she was unable to speak for a few
moments. Then with terrifying s'How
dare you'll" she drew back her hand and
struck the girl such a blow that she was
prostrated. Then all was excitement and
confusion, the young sister in charge of the
room was Mortified and all looked for a
dreadful scene, but the flag was replaced and
remained there all the evening The two
words spoken by Mother Angela, "Young Ia
diesl' soon brought the girls to their senses;
but though the entertainment was contin-
ued, none of the girls quite recovered their
equanimity.

noised about that Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land was in the gallery. The women craned
their necks to see her and SO did everyone
else. Finally the doorkeeper of the diplo-
matte gallery came around to see what the
excitement meant. He asked the new door
keeper of the private gallery what was going
on. "Why, Miss Cleveland, the Presidents
sister, is inside" he remarked. The diplo-
mat went in and in few minutes came out
with great disgust and remarked that the
woman was no more Miss Rose Elizabeth
Cleveland than he was. The other door
keeper told the new doorkeeper the same
thing and he laughed heartily at his being
imposed upon. The woman was a Miss
Cleveland, but no relation to the President,
nor did she tell the doorkeeper she was.

ssLord'' Wellington In Difficulty.


A.French officer tells an amusing anecdote
in recent number of the "Reyue Retro
speotive." 1t was at the time when the
French army stood before Torres Vedras,
separated from the English camp by a num-
Der of vineyards in which there were few
caves containing wine. The soldiers OF both
armies drank fraternally from these stores
without ever coming in conflict. One day,
however, French sergeant was captured in
one of the caves by some English soldiers,
who took him into their camp and conduct
ed him to the Duke of Wellington. After a
few questions the sergeant was ordered to
leave, but would not stir.
''Go along" said the general. No move
ment, but the brusque reply, General, your
soldiers had no right to make me their pris-
oner." ''And how is thats' Chow is thats
It is this way: The cave being neutral
ground, they had no more right to capture
me than had to capture them. They took
advantage of my isolation. Soldiers ought
to have more manners among themselves"
"Was that the way you were taken prison
era'' eyes, general every we'll, you shall
dine with my attendants and go where you
came from" But the Frenchman still re-
fused to move. "Have you not heard what
/ said, sergeantY" sOh, yes. general /
have heard it all, but do not wish to go
with your attendant" "And why not?'
s'Because no French soldier ever eats with
bow and sign of assent, took the hint,
ordered another convert to be laid at his own
| table and invited the French sergeant to din
ner.
